CHANNELS OF LABOR. Occupation of Every Working Man, Woman and Child in the Metropolis, MEADS AND HANDS. Whole Number of Persons Employed, 350,556. Among the many tables which will appear in the ferthcoming census report is one which gives the @umber of persons employed in various occupa- ‘ons in the city, their sex and their nationality, Ttis true that 1870 is a long time ago, and sinee then many changes have occurred in the distribu- tion of working men among different kinds of labor. Where are proportionately more laborers, masons, bricklayers, carpenters, &c., now in tbe city than Qn 1870. It is also true that the census, which failed to give the correct total population, also probably failed to give the entire number of those who earned their daily bread. Still, with all these im- Perfections these statistics are of interest, for they are propertionately correct, and show how the three @reat nationalitics—the American, Irish and Ger- man—have seen fit to select occupations for them- selves. THOSE WHO WORK FOR A LIVING. ‘The total number of men or women who worked for a living with head or hand was 350,556, of which 204,385 were men and 86,171 were women. They Were divided as follows:—Of males between 10 and ‘15 years, 5,043; between 16 and 59 years, 254,770; 0 years and over, 4,572. Of females between 10 and 15 years, 3,413; between 16 and 59 years, 81,737; 0 years and over, 1,021. The table thus shows ‘that more very young boys earned a livelihood *han girls, and less aged females than males. CLASSIFICATION OF OCCUPATIONS. ‘These occupations are divided into agriculture, 1,401 persons; professional and persona! services, ‘215,259; trade and transportation, 88,611; manu- factures, mining and mechanical pursuits, 145,285, ‘These various pursuits take in the doctors who Jooked after the health of the peeple, the clergy- men who weekly pointed out the road to heaven, the lawyers who starved or prospered in the Courts, the barbers and lanndresses who cleaned aces and clothing, the bakers, butchers and con- fectioners, who furnished food; the leading trades, such as carpenters, brick and stone masons, tailors and tailoresses, cabinet makers and upholsterers, Machinists, painters, blacksmiths, boot and shoe makers, printers, the noble army of clerks, traders and dealers, servants and laborers, officers and employés of ratiroads, teamsters, draymen, sail- ors, &c. OCCUPATION BY NATIONALITY. ‘The American clement preponderates chiefly in those branches which come under the head of ‘trade and transportation, where, out of 88,611 em- ployed therein, it has 43,317 (nearly half), the Irish ‘Being second on the list, with 18,490, and Germars third, with 18,181, England and Wales have 3,585 and the Scotch 986. In the list of mechanical and maining industries, out of the whole number 145,285) the American element has 52,125; the German, 43,287; Irisb, 33,816; England and Wales, 6,575; Scotch, 2,441. Among those engaged in per- gonal and professional services out of the whole | umber (115,259) the American element bas 36,884; | the Jrish, 54,282; German, Wales, 2,840; Scotch, 832. in agriculture, out of the whole number (1,401) 407 @re Americans, 564 Germans, 247 Irish, 64 English or Welsh, 25 Scotch, and the small remainder va- lously distributed. ‘The Irish seem to excel under the head of per- 16,388; England and sonal and professional services, having 64,282 em- | ployed therein. This head has classified under it clergymen, journalists, lawyers, physicians, teach- ers, boarding and lodging house keepers, domestic servants, barbers and hairdressers, laborers, &c. Under the head of trade and transportation they excel ali other foreign nationalities, ‘This class includes railroad officers and employés, hucksters, pediers, commercial traveliers, clerks in stores, salesmen, dealers in stocks, street ca ployés, telegraph employés, &c. In man and mechanical and mining industries the Germans excel other foreign nationalities. This takes under head bakers, blacksmiths, boot and shoe makers, brewers, clerks and bookkeepers in manu- facturing establishments, plumbers, printers, coopers, butchers, hat and cap makers, machinists, millers, tinners, wheelwrights, <c. HOW LABOR WAS DISTRIBUTED. ‘The tables thus far given show 1m bulk how the great mass of humanity living in New York eked out a livelihood. How the great number who daily pass up and down our busy thoroughfares engaged their time and tulents to the end of money getting. It seems almost impossible that the army o! eifimerators who compiled Uncle Sam’s population could nave had a report {rom each articular person, and the more so on account of ne limited time allowed them to do the work. The peculiarities of the census loom up ina dit- fereut phase when labor is taken by detail and the Various vocations studied seriatirn, In our great city 74 agricultural laborers tilled the soil and gathered the Crops; 4“ dairymen and dairy women ordered’ their drivers to stop at “the pumps up town wt water the milk with which the city was supplied; 213 farmers and planters lived the most independent of live employing 22 overseers to look after their inter- ests, while 855 gardeners, nurserymen and vin growers found profit in developing the resource of mother Earth. The superfaous hirsute growth | of our entire population was removed by 2,549 bar- bers and hairdressers, who learned when young the first duties of the rising tonsorial knight, and the exciamation— “NEXT GENTLEMAN!" ‘The younger portiou ef our rising generation tronized 42 billiard and bewling saloons; 1,595 arding and lodging house keepers scanned trunks with a critic's eye and kept zealous vigil over them until paid, eack week, for the prov: ender whicu tended to put fat on the bones of those who lived with them. The NARROW PATH TO HEAVEN, and the besetting sins of a large community were inted out by 715 clergymen arrayed in the clerical robes which make this class a distinguish- ang feature from the large run of sinners. The duties of the household and the serubbing and hard work of our many hotels were attended to by 49,440 domestics; 4,832 hotel and restaurant keep- ers and their employés invited tired and thirsty men to come buy wine and milk—but not without money or price.’ The public mind was EDUCATED AND DIRKCTE! Dy 316 journalists, woich may or may not include é army of Bohemians, who live on anything as light as feathers or cork float; 28, laborers fel- Jowed out the divine injunction and earned their bread by the sweat of their brows. The necessary pape g to men’s bosoms and the innumerable frills and tucks of the ladies fell to the tender mercies of 5,604 \aunderers and launcresses. Tue complications of Erie, the defence of car-hook mur- derers, Jim Fisk assassins and all other turmetis, either on the criminal or ctvil calendar, fed and kept fat 1,283 lawyers, with but few exceptions, Thaps, of that class called “shysters;” 1,278 wery stable keepers and hostiers, whe may be set down as having had the genuine blues dag the of the epizooty, flourished with us.

The sweets of slumber were made more agreeable by 5,071 cabinet makers and upholsterers, but by this Wwe do not mean those speculative geniuses who are constantly changing the President’s advisers. The rapid growth ot New York was contributed to in no small degree by 10,427 carpenters and joiners. And now we know those health savans who have loudly berated the use of tobacco will thank the HERALD for imparting to them the information that 5,550 cigar makers and tobacco workers actually made a comfortable living by producing from the raw leaf an agreeable favor for the smoker and chewer, THE MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS of our great city had need of the services of 265 clerks and bookkeepers, and consequently em- ployed them, The children were furnished with Sweetmeats and older heads with bon-bons by 1,101 confectioners, who did up Grant, Colfax, Wil- 80D and others less prominent in the most tempt- ing sugar, The many barrels which are required by a large city like New York were put in shape and made strong by 1,606 coopers. Of cotton and woollen mill operators employment was found for 1,477 ~persons; 3807 curriers, tanners and leather finishers dressed hides to furnish the boot makers with that of which to make tight boots and increase the business of the corn doctor, The wants of the whiskey drinking population in a wholesale way were studied by 142 distillers and rectiflers of liquors. The brain—they jay fish certainly 18 brain food—is indebted to 239 fishermen and oystermen, who in days both foul and fair can be seen coming through the Narrows With their precious and much relished cargoes. Eight hundred and ninety-seven harness and saddle makers rigged our equines with gay decorations, and made, dowd tme bedeckings, many an old plug feel proud, though he were in the Winter and de cline of his years. ‘rhe wants of the cranium were attended to by 1,744 hat amd cap makers, furnishing from the finest silk to the more ordinary Manila or chip hat; 2,206 iron and steel workers made ductile that hardened metal and conformed it into any required shape, while 28 lumbermen, raftsmen and wooachoppers did the same eiey with the trees of the forest, While 3,787 machinists were hard at work in the pursuit of a livelfhood through their honest calling, 149 millers were grinding wheat to give to the baker flour, of which he made his light loaves to sell not only to them but to many thousand others. THE HEADGEAR OF THE LADIES, as well as the wrappings of divers shades and pat- terns with which they bao) ps ge array them- selves, engaged the attention of 9,747 milliners. dress and mantuamakers. 67 miners explored some labyrinthian passages in the bowels o! the earth, but for what particular metal the census taker has signally failed to state—not after goid, at all events; 6,824 painters and varnishers eut- wardly and inwardly placea coats upon our houses, which covered aay a blemish and gave to them a more inviting and attractive appearance; 663 paper mill operatives helped to furnish some of the paper required to work olf the enormous editions of the HERALD; 1,432 plasterers kept our houses warm by cementing our walls and ceilings, while 2,584 plumbers ani iitters placed in them the tubes and pipes to admit the carbon with which they were illuminated by night.

PERU. Chile-Bolivian Complications and Bound- ary Demands and Dificulti¢s—The Atti- tude of Peru and Citizen Imtorcnees. Lima, June 9, 1873, At this moment the HERALD correspondent limits his labors to a question respecting the tmbroglio be. tween Chile and Bolivia growing out of the preten- sions of the former Republic to certain valuable pos- sessions comprised within the territory of the latter. These desires ef Chile were in a manner, legalized by the terms of the protocel signed at La Paz, in December of last year, by the Belivian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Casimiro Corral, and the Chiltan Plenipotentiary, Don Santiage Lindsay. According to this instrument Bolivia was to cede a portion of her lands to Chile, and to grant to this neighbor the right to participate in the gains from the Caracoles mines. feated tn his attempts fer the Presidency, and has quietly retired to Puno, in Peru, to await the course of events; and the new government of Bo- livia, indignant at the proposed spoliation, asked the opinion of the extraordinary Congress now in session, and the following report is the result :— THE REPORT OF CONGRESS. SOVEREIGN Siz—Your Commission of Foreign Affairs has attentively examined the agreement of the 2d of December, 1872 (the Cerral-Lindsay proto- col), and bas especialiy devoted its attention to the demarcation ef the eastern boundary line between Chile and Bolivia, passing through the highest dis- tricts of the Andean chain, which extends (rom the twenty-filth to the twenty-third parrailei of lati- tude, It is a well known fact that trom the twenty- | third parallel the Andes divide in several branches, | and, leaving their hitherto regular course, bend to- wards the east, located the Bolivian ‘towns of ‘San Pedro | de Atacama, Tocano, Pete and others. ‘The present Congress, in order to arrive at a just and equitable solution of the question of limits, finds it necessary to possess positive data, to be supplied by geographers, regarding the line followed by the Andes at their greatest elevation; their exact a marcation, the proper survey O1 the district be- | tween this branch of the mountains and that of the Chilean Andes, and finally a knowledge of the pre- cise location of the towns already mentioned, to be | determined py the commission named ad hoc. gained by Congress from them will pre to be of | Valuable assistance in the solving of the point in | question, and will also exert a decided influence on | the now vacillating opinion of the public, since a report from a scientific body would form a base of confidence jor the ultimate arrangement of this complicated matter. Your Comuiission, therefore, | presents the following bill for the consideration of the legislative and executive branches of the gov- ernment:— Firet.—The examination and final resolntion of the Corrald.indsay agreement shall ve postponed antil the | next Constitutional Congress of August, 1574. Second.—The executive is bereby authorized to im. mediately appoint a Scientific Commission, whose duty shall be to report concerning the line fo Andes at their leet clevation: & proper the district between this branch of the moun. that of the Chilean Andes, and finally to deter- mine the geographical position of the Bolivian towns or Villages to be found within the said district, tozether with a statement of their number and population, and to afford all the information necessary respecting the points in question, that Congress may be perfectly en. abled tosolve the matter. Third.—The government of Bolivia is hereby authorized to proceed in its negotiations with the governinent of Onite. in order to arrive at the formation of a treaty | definitively setting the questions of boundary, and cal | culated to preserve those amicable relations which Bolivia desires to cultivate with Chile.

Are There White Captives Among the Natives !—British Search for a Woman and a Child—Naval Operations on the Coast of New Britain—Landing Under Difficulty and Retreat in the Face of Great Danger. In a volume of correspondence relating to kid- Dapping in the South Sea Istands, just issued from the British Colonial Ofice, we find a remarkable Story about a white woman and child having, asit Was supposed, been detained in New Britain, Mr. Ferguson, writing from Brisbane on Novem- ber 27, 1871, says:— While sailing along the northern coast of the island of New Britain, in the vicinity of the moun- tain known as “Mother and Daughter,’ | was very much surprised to observe a white child in one of the canoes which came alongside the vessel. I made every effort in my power to obtain posses- sion of the child, but- without avail, as the natives pulled ashore, This occurred on the afternoon 01 the 26th of July Jagt, and as no more canoes came olf to the vessel that day I determined to heave to for the night, with a view to obtain further informa- tion respecting the child. Next morning, at day- light, I stood in with the vessel to within a cable's length of the shore, when [ perceived a whie2 wo- Man carrying a bundle of wood upon her head; the child also could plainly be seen, about half a mile distant, with a group of natives, When first ob- served the woman had just emerged from a thickly wooded patch on the face of the mourtain, and wus walking in the direction of the child, but her progress was intercepted by @ native, ‘who evi- dently accosted her, causing her to drop the bundle and return trom whence she came, Neither the woman bor the child were again seen, and as no canoes could be indaced to come off to the vessel I Was obliged to abandon any turther effort of com- municating with the shore, as the well known hos- tile character of the natives prevented a boat be- ing sent on shore from the vessel, NAVAL OPERATIONS AND EXCITING EXPERIENCES. In July of tast year Captain C. H, Sampson, of Her Britannic Majesty's ship Blanche, reports the re- sult of his inquiries into the circumstances. He saya:— On the 17th instant I proceeded, with two natives as interpreters, to the bay now named Albino Bay, where the woman and child had been first seen, and close te the village in which they live. The natives, on my anchor.ng, came off in great num- bers to trade, and many women were seen about the beach. The Duke of York natives 1 had on board, on questioning the natives alongside, were toid the woman and child were brother and sister, and that the mother, who was black, itved in the Village; that the white woman might come off if she liked, but that she was afraid. Although /eel- ing quite convinced in my own mind, from all these Yarious statements, that the woman and child were not Europeans, | thought if it was possible I ought, in compliance with my orders, to obtain more con- Clusive evidence of the fact. I theretore detained one of the natives of the Place us a hostage, and sent Lieutenant Praed, with the two interpreters, in the cutter round to the village where the woman and child lived, with presents to the chief, it he would allow Lieutenant Praed to see and speak to the woman, but ordered Lieutenant Praed not to leave the vicinity of the boat. Aiter the cutter had been away some time, Sub-Licutenant Festing reported to me that a na- tive was carrying the white child through the bush towards the village. On going on deck 1 observed @ native carrying a child and yoing in the direction stated, but the child was not white; it may have been either a half caste or a very fairnative; its hair was white, but woolly. Mr. Adam, surgeon, who was on the poop at the time, also saw tie child, and states that in his opinion it was a half caste, but certainly not a white child, Soon after this the cutter returned, having been unsuccessful in their object. The chiefs aud a number of natives had met Lieutenant Praed on the beach, and at first had promised the woman should be sent for, but they would not allow him to come near them, and graduaily retreated behind an eminence, armed with their spears. Lieutenant Praed then, in com- pltauce with my orders, returned to the ship. On their way back they also saw a native carrying what they called @ white child, which the inter- preters, who bad seen the child before, declared to be the same child they had seen from the Captain Cook. Mr. Hasgard, sub-lieutenant, however, who was in the cutter and saw the cnild through gee states he is quite certain that the child's air was woolly, though white, Still, as Lieutenant Praed said he thought that if] would allow him to go with only one man and the interpreters up to the village, the cutter lying well of the shore, so as to cover him with their fire in case of an emer- gency, that it would be perfectly safe, the natives appearing to be in great iear of the cutter. I con- sented, though feeling the object now hardly justi- fied me in allowing him to take the risk. Consequently he, with James Cox, gunner’s mate, and the two natives, penetrated right into the vil- lage, Which was round the point and out of sight from the ship and situated on the slope of a very steep mountain about two hundred teet above the sea. They found the village deserted, but a large body of natives were collected immediately about it armed with spears and stones, They warned Lieutenant Praed to return immediately, saying that they were afraid; but ne, through the inter- preters, toid them he had come for trade, and as there were only two white men taney need not be afraid. As soon as the natives were quite certain there were only two they exclaimed they meant war, and immediately two spears were thrown at Lieutenant Praed and Cox, gunner’s mate, the whole body of natives rushing down on them, Lieutenant Praed and Cox both gave them a shot irom their revolvers, and then turned and ran for it; it was a short but sharp run for their lives; the boat put in, protecting them by their fire as well as possibly, and they all got safely into the boat, though pursued to the water's edge, several stones falling into the boat. On the boat return- ing Lieutenant Praed iniormed me he did not think any of the natives had been hit. I had just sent for Senior Lieutenant Bridges to order the release of the native hostage, when, through the negligence of the sentry, he escaped and jumped overboard. A cutter was immediately lowered to pick him up. Lieutenant Praed jumped into her, and as he was shoving off, asked if he was to fire on the canoes collecting around. | ordered him not to fire at them, but gave permission to fire over their heads to frighten them. Before the cut- ter got up to the man he had been picked up by a canoe, and on hearing the canoe the cutter was attacked from the canoes and shore by spears and | stones, when the cutter, in self-defence, fred on the natives, immediately on seeing which I made the cutter’s recall, and she returned at once, but not, Lam airaid, betore at least one of the natives had been hit. ‘The result of my inquiries, though ending ao far unfortunately, has been to establish conclusively that there is no European woman or child here, as reported, It is morally impossible that a European vessel of any size likely to have a woman and child on board could have been wrecked on this coast within the last ten years without any vestige of her or any knowledge or rumor of the wreck reaching the natives o1 the Duke of York Island, only twelve miles distant, and between the natives of which Places there have been constant communication, BRO@KLYN AFFAIRS, The police of Brooklyn arrested 546 persons | during the week, During the past three months the inspectors of steam boilers examined and tested 678 boilers; found twenty-seven defective and condemned and removed oue, The Brooklyn Board of Assessors met yesterday and confirmed the assessment for paving Fourth street, FE.

THE ASCOT MEETING. Great Gathering of Aristocracy—The Prince and Princess of Wales in “Ascot State'’’—The Fashions—The Ascot Gold Cup—Another Victory for Cremorne—The Alexandra Plate—Cremorne Wins Again— Other Racing—Kaiser, Gang Forward and Prince Char- lie All Successfal. Lonpon, June 14, 1873, The Ascot meeting, the first two days of which I have previously described, was brought to a con- clusion yesterday, and, taken as a whole, we never spent a more enjoyable week on the “Royal Heath.” Perhaps the latter portion of the sport was not equal to that which we witnessed in the earlier days of the gathering; but we had again an opportunity of seeing the best borses in Britain, which is equal to saying the best horses in the world, the terrible Frenchman, Boiard, who beat our champion, Doncaster, last Sunday, for the Grand Prize of Paris, not excepted. It becomes RoW more and more evident, and it is the opinion of our best judges, that, aiter all, Doncaster is not the highest of our three-year-olds, and that THE DERBY WAS A “FLUKE;" that, in fact, Mr, Merry’s horse ought not to have beaten Kaiser and Gang Forward, ‘This will be- come more evident alter the race for the Ascot Cup is described; but in the meantime I must say something of the general features of the meet- ing. The great day is always the Thursday when the Cup just referred to is run for, and never was the attendance larger than on this occasion. The royal lawn was crowded with half os the fashion- able world of London, and to such an extent that it was barely possible to move, and quite impossitle to show to any advantage the brilliant toilets which had been provided. The line of carriages on the other side of the course was never equalled in extent, and the Four-in-hand and Coaching clubs, between them, furnished nearly forty splendidly appointed drags. Very many thousands of people were con- veyed by the two lines of railway which run from the metropolis—one to Ascot and the other to Windsor, and the carriage traiic between the latter town and the Heath, a distance of six miles, was enormous, the fares being, of course, in pro- portion, The morning had a very threatening ap- pearance, but the afternoon was, on the whole, fine, though one sharp shower DROVE THE LADIES FROM THE LAWN with a marvellous celerity, The sky became over- cast in a@ moment, and but little time was given to run for shelter, so unexpected was the descemt, which was so heavy that it would have destroyed in a few moments thousands of pounds’ worth of finery, As a rule, however, the ladies were fully equal to the occasion, and the speed with which q they dashed under the cover of the stands and | into the dining hall did high credit to their presence of mind, Still, the crowding at the doors was so intense that, for a time, scores of them were unable to obtain admission, and it was amusing to see with what freedom from the con- ventional rules titled dames and high-born dem- oiselies litted their dresses right over their heads, indifferent as to their undergarments being seen 80 long as they could save their upper finery tor exhibition when the storm had passed away. Fortunately it did so in a few minutes, and when we once mere ventured out on the lawns we found that the ram had done no harm and had, in faet, been beneficial in laying the dust. As usual on this day the PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES, with others of the royal family drove to the heath in “Ascot state’? and met with a reception of the heartiest description. As soonsas the procession Was seen coming over the brow of the hill at the commencement of the “New Mile,” about one o'clock, @ cheer arose from those furthest down the course, which, increasing in volume as it ran along the dense lines of spectators on each side of the course, became a great roar of excitement as the party drove threugh the royal lawn, where they were greeted more quietly, but not less warmly. As usual, the advance guard was lormed by the Master of the Buekhounds, Lord Cork, who was dressed in ; his official costume of green cut-away coat, with brass buttons and gold sash, from which was sus- pended his whistles; white ‘‘cords” and top boots, and he was mounted ona magnficent bay horse. Behind him came a body of huntsmen, whips and “yeomen prickers.” in green and gold, and then the carriages, cach drawn by four horses, with out- riders in scarlet liveries. The first contained the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princess Christian and the Duke of Edinburgh; the second, Prince Arthur, the Duke of Cambridge, the Marchioness of Hamilton and the Countess Spencer; the third, Prince Christian and the Duke and Duchess of Teck; and the others several of the ladies and gen- tlemen in attendance. As to the scene on the lawn it woukl be impossible, without the GENIUS OF A 0 AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF A MANTUA MAKER to do it anything like justice. No amount of ordi- nary “word painting” will serve to convey any idea of its marvelous beauty, anda technical ac- quaintance with the niceties of female dress is net among the accompilshments of the present writer. A few general ideas may, however, be conveyed. in the first place the “new colors’ which have been introduced within the past year or two, and some of which are singularly agiy, were by no Means 80 Common as one would have expected after what has been seen at recent draw- ing rooms and other gatherings of fashion. Nor was the eye much distressed by those hideous com- vinations of allied but ditfering tints which lately Decame so common that many among us arrived at the conclusion that good taste had “for @ seasou bade our world farewell.’ There were costumes iormed of the new shades of green, which have become popular trimmings, with lighter or darker varieties of the same, but they bore no proportion whatever to those formed of the old-fashioned blues and greens and grays and pinks and whites which we have known from our youth up, The most favorite color was a light blue, known as “turquoise.” and the same as that which is the aquatic badge of the Cambridge Uni- versity ; but violets and purples were also extreme- ly common, and the “royal” or “true Tyrian pur- pie” in velvet is rapidly becoming fashionable. ith regard to materials, velvet was much mere used than one would have expected at this period of the year; but the fact is that our Summers are becoming 80 coid that that heavy fabric does not seem out of place. It ts also ised greatly in the form of trimmings, both of dress and bonnet, and was frequently seen in the form of broad stripes running down the silk skirt, The polonaiae, with or without sleeves, was worn as much as ever, but in some cases it was supplanted by a tight-fitting bodice ef the same color as the trim- the dress. The bonnet was invariably built on what I call the castellated plan, with a central “‘donjon” or keep, surrounded by a dry moat with an outer wall, the whole worn at the top ofa high chignon and far back on the head. The costume appears to be as popular as the polo- naise, and was decorated with broad sashes, some- times around the waist, in other cases attached to the side of the dress as a bow with streamers, and in others hanging loosely around the panier. Feathers in the bonnet were extremely common, and all the parasols had bunches of ribbons at the top. ‘The Princess of Wales, it may be interesting to some of your readers to know, wore an exquisite costume dress of bieu de ciel, trimmed with black velvet, and a bonnet with feathers to mateh. I must, however, now turn my attention to the rac- ing, the great feature of which was THE ASCOT GOLD CUP, for which seven animals went w the pest. Of these the Derby winner of iast year, Cremorne, was in such magnificent condition and the stable had previously shown itself in such fine ‘form’ that odds of 11 to 8 were freely betted on him. The next in demand was Thorn, who came into notice as a “stayer’ by winning the Gold Vase on Tues- day, when he beat some animals that had obtained a high reputation over long distances, and he was accordingly backed ry at 85 to 20, Flageolet, though he ran badly in the Two Thousand Guineas, Tan 80 Well last Lagging ag the lomger course of the Grand Prize of Paris that 11 to 2 was now taken about him to a good dealofmoney. The most fancied of the others was Baron Rothschild’s beau- tiful mare Corisande, who found friewds at 10 to 1. Eole Il. was started merely to make running for Flageolet, and Hannah, winner of the Oaks and St. Leger, performed the same rather ignominious of- fice for Corisande.

In the Grand Prize of Paris, for which Boiard beat Doncaster very easily, Flageolet was a es second, whereas here Flageolet was defeated yy Cremorne with the utmost facility and with any ammount of weight in hand, Now Kaiser is the equal of Cremorne at weight for age, and therefore he ought to have beaten Beiard, if he had started for the Grand Prize of Paris, and, @ Jortiort, he ought to have Onished a long way ahead of Don- caster in the Derby, as he did in the Two Thonsana Guineas.

Then Cremorne closed with him, and, passing him as it he had_ been Lee 3 stil, won in @ canter by fifteen lengths, Time, 5:24, Net value of the stakes, £1,095, or $5,476, ‘This was Mr. Sayile’s last victory at the meeting, which was a most success- ful one tor him and fully recompersed him for many disasters which he haa recently sustamed. During the four days he won the Prince of Wales Stakes, worth £3,025; the Ascot Stakes, £640 ¢ Fifteenth Biennial, £585; the Ascot Cup, £870; the Tenth Biennial, £450; and the Alexaudra Plate, £1,095; in all £6,665, or $33,825 in stakes alone. Kaiser’s race for the Tenth Biennial was another remarkably good pertormance, for he beat over the old mile Choiette, who was one of the very fastest animals of the time. Gang Forward aiso won another race, the St. James Palace Stakes, in which, with odds of ten to one betted on him, he again defeated Uighiand Laddie and another in a common canter. Prince Cnarlie, too, the most brilliant short distance horse of the age, had one more victory, beating Drummond with the greatest ease and with 100 to 15 betted on him over the two-year-old course. That Drum- mond was in go shewn by beating im @ fine race for the Windsor Handicap Winslow, who, asl previously described, won the Royal unt Cup on Wednesday, The best of the two-year-olds turned out to be Ecossuis, a colt belonging to M. Lefevre, who, though never before seen in public, was irom his private reputa- tion and his good looks backed at 6 to 4, and completely ‘“spread-eagled” the field, which in- cluded two or three excellent youngsters. He hax, however, somewhat suspicious forelegs, and he will not, I should think, win the Derby; but he is the finest two-year-old we have yet een. NORMAL OOLLEGE PRIZES. The following letter, signed ‘‘Graduates of '73," was received at the HERALD office yesterday. It explains itself:— To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— We, as graduates of the Normal College of the City of New York, with the best interests of our Alma Mater at heart, consider it our duty to ex- pose to the public @ daring and contemptible fraud | practised by the Professor of Latin and Literature before the astonisted eyes of the class of '73, When the graduates received their programmes for the commencement exercises what was their surprise and indignation to behold the names of Misses Coliord and Wright to receive prizes for Shakspearnan essays. These young ladies graduate with honor, and have reputations fer high morai character, and probably were not aware they were to receive Shaks- pearian prizes until they saw their names upon the programmes. As the graduates wiil testify the students were not allowed to compete tor these prizes, as no essays were written either by Misses Coliord and Wright or by their classmates, and how the Professor of Literature could dare to award prizes for essays that were never written is be- yond all comprehension. Nothing but pride and deep interest in the welfare of a young and nobie imstitution would impel us to expose this despic- able act. If sueh frauds are allowed to pass un- noticed prizes and class honors will soon become Worse than useless and many pupils will cease to exert themselves, This affair does not affect the present gr es alone, nd citizens who may in future send their daughters to the Normaal College. We compliment the honorable gentieman mentioned above upon his audacity, and at the same time tender to him our sincere thanks for affording us an opportunity to expose his frauds and treachery, and we will always re- member this, his last act of kindness to us, with great pleasure. You need not hesitate to print this, as, if any persons should inquire into the truth of this charge, you may reier them to any of the Normal College graduates of 1873 who were in Professor Dundon’s class, whose residences may be ascer- tained by applying at the Normal College. JULY 3. GRADUATES OF 73, On investigating the charges made in this letter the Hg&RALD reporter discovered that the prizes had not been donated. The young ladies whose , names are mentioned as receiving the prizes re- jused to accept them, for the reason that they had not been competed Jor. Professor Dundon stiil re- tains his prizes, which speaks well for the good taste of the Normal School ladies. In ail proba- bility he will forever retain them; but, whether he does or not, the refusal to accept on the part of the young ladies has certainly learned him not to offer another prize while he is of the college faculty.

FATAL SHOOTING ACCIDENT, Sad Termination to a Javenile Frolic in ‘Westchester County. At Morrisania, Westchester county, on Friday afternoon, a boy named John Dooley, aged thirteen, whose parents live in New York, was acci- dentally shot through the heart while engaged in shooting at @ target with his companions. De- ceased had come on @ visit to his cousin, Alfred Boulard, @ lad of fourteen, residing ‘on Cotlege avenue, While celebrating the Feurth the boys aflixed a target in a vacant lot, and when the ne- Ceasary preparations had been completed young Dooley fired the first shot, Anxious to ascertain how near he had me to the deceased immediately aiver firing walked up the target, Just at this momem the boy Boulard was in the act of pigdnas, cartridge in his pistol, when the weapon exploded, sending its deadly contents into the breast of young Dooley, who, eed @ faint shriek, fell to the and expired in a few moments.

Every office where real estate is either bought or sold was closed tightly, and om most of the doors the ominious sign, ‘This office will be closed until Monday, the 7th imstanot,” in- formed the visitor that the practical celebration of the “Glorious Fourth’ for 1873 was carried out by this trade to the extent of a three days’ holiday. In closing up shop for this lengthy period the. real estate interest did not suifer the slightest. damage, business during the past week having: been exceedingly dull, In fact, nothing was ex-, pected; consequently no one was disappointed. We have but very little to chronicle at present of transactions in this line at any rate. A sale hero and there 1s casually made, but the traMe carries: no practical feature with it, A Summer sale can- not be looked upon us establishing any values, If ny one invests in property at this season it must. be for the purpose either of obtaining a bargain or to acquire a piece of land to complete other con-- tiguous property. This stagnancy will probably last at least for six weeks or two months to come.. Our heavy operators are absent from the city,. either at the seaside or travelling over the- European Continent. On their return, however, a heavy Fall business may be expected, and im | anticipation of such event owners of city real estate are keeping quiet, but hold their possessions. at stiff rates, ‘The assertions made by the Comptroller in his letter, that “the opculng of streets and boulevards. is made too rapidly and at too great an expense,’? has caused considcrabie teelmg among the real. ‘The guardian of the City Treasury has evidently but very little appreciation of the immense importance oO! our city property, from. which source the cutire local revenue is derived. Every street whicti is opened enhances the value of its lots, upon wh ch increased assessments aro levied. He further complains that “the valuations: at present are 80 high tiat the cost will not war- rant the additioua! improvements.” It is, how- ever, a well known fact that the longer the street. openings are delayed the more tax will come on tot the city when the work 18 finally done, Since the completion of the labor by the Com. missioners on the Noithern Boulevard, running from 155th to Inwood street, the property on thie line has advanced to such an extent that tho amount of awards assessed upon the city 1s mor than covered by the increased valuation of th property, and as, according to law, property owner: may demand the fall amount their land is valued at up to the very day the report of a Commission fo) the opening of a street 1s confirmed, the longer wet delay such measures the more we are called upom to pay. Public opinion in this instance is decidedly against the Comptroller, especially as he is sup- posed to know the tabulous increase of nents values up town, caused by the establishments ol the several Boulevards, trom his long ccennectio! with the Central Mark Commission. ‘The millions of money laid out for these improve. ments have not only furnished us with the most, attractive and elegant drives, but increased th value of lots a thousand fold. Suppose at this d | the old-time Bloomingdale road, with its tortno! windings and steep grades, was still in existence, forming the only thoroughfare from the Battery Manaattanville, would any person be insan enough to pay $30,000 or $40,000 for 25x100 fee! fronting thereou ?

During the past week we made a tour of Ii tion on the line of the Broadway Boulevard. great deal of building 18 going on, despite th prevailing duiness in business. Mr. Cornelit O’Rielley has just commenced digging out, pre-| perree, to laying the foundation for a row off uildiags on the south side of Sixty-frst street and Ninth avenue, for first class brown stone bulid~ ings, on fourteen lots, while he is finishing thre first class residences on Fifth avenue, near Sixty- flith street and Fiity-sixth street, each of the lat+ ter being valued at $150,000, . sohin McCool commenced the erection of twenty-five first clas: houses on the lots purchased recently, through Mr., F, Zittel, on Sixticth street, Madison and Fourthy avenues, for $800.000, and reported exclusively 1! this column. Alderman Terence Farley likewi employs an army of mechanics in the erection o! numerous dwellings, and altogether the buildin; interest at this season seems to be very actively! employed. A sale of real estate, at Palisades, N. J., tooki place on July 4, by Messrs. Bleecker, Son & Co. ‘The property is situated at Mount Englewood, near the Palisade Mountain House, thirteen miles! from New York. The property sold consisted of three plots, as follows :— 1 plot of 4 46-100 acres, sold to Henry F, Verhuven (hanker), at $4400 per acre, a | 1 plot of 287-100 acres, sold to Wm.

The guests: of the hotel, including the ladies, were on the heights seated among the buyers. The result waa, a great success, = ESCAPED FROM THE TOMBS. , William Barkicy, the Hotel Thiet, Again at Liberty. Between the hours of twelve and six yesterday’ morning a prisoner named William J. Barkley suce ceeded in escaping from the Tombs, About fifteen. months ago Barkley was considered one of the Smartest hotel thieves in the country. He was finally caught, and, upon trial and conviction at: the General Sessions, was sentenced to a term of eight years in the State Prison at Sing Sing. Through the efforts of his counsel, William F, Howe, he was brought down to the Tombs. recently on a writ to await the decision of a mo- tion Jo test the legality of his imprisonment. Since. his arrtval in the Tombs he has been regarded: as one of the most orderly andy well-be- haved inmates of that stitution, le had no visitors save his wife and sisters, Yesterday morning about six o'clock it was discovered that. the quiet young man, Mr. Barkley, had departed. He had, it seems, managed to insert his hand. through the iron lacework and picked the lock. He ascended to the roof and fastened a knotted rope to @ projection, whereby he was enabled to. descend to the root of the women’s prison; thence, by means of another rope similarly arranged, he gained the street. Warden Johnson intends to in- stitute 4 rigid inquiry into the circumstances of his escape to-day, as itis the duty of the might keeperg to make halt hourly rounds nightly of the different. tiers. When the empty cell was examined it-was discovered that the pillow had been so arranged as a Sota ad ag tort dag lyin, eae up.
